 They can, search the forums for posts by markymark about mpegdec to find the threads discussing the issues in detail.

 |  Posted - 16 Jan 2003 :  22:16:20 I use Mpegdec on my PB540c and it works fine, as long as I run it in mono singlemix mode and do not do anything else whilst it is playing.  all in all, I think it'd run better on a Q650, or an AV machine for it's full '040
 I am still looking for a place to quote me the price for de-integration of chips, so I can get a full '040, possibly 40mHz in place of me LC040.
 anyway, good luck with mpegdec, though you really need an '040 to run iut, though you can get by with a fast '030 as long as you downsample your tracks by three.CCC
